I have noticed this in a daly process I run which involves normally 45 minutes and with the new server takes 1:40.

Some days ago I began to do some tests with no success, then I opened PgAdmin with this simply query to read 2 big tables and then compare disk access.
SELECT *
FROM fact_ven_renta fvr, dim_producto_std_producto dpp
WHERE
fvr.producto_std_producto_sk = dpp.producto_sk

fact_ven_renta has 136316 rows
dim_producto_std_producto has 3669 rows

I have made all possible combinations pgadmin (running in the same server each query, in the old one, in the new one), without difference and I only retrieve the first 100 records (I didn't count the network time in any case).
But the weird thing is running the query in the new server the are many disk access and cpu usage. And with other applications in the same server are a lot of disks access.

Seguí de cerca a la Selección Argentina de Rugby en el Mundial de Francia 2007.
